“Isn’t this great? It’s been a pleasure all the way,” Mrs. Grosko told the crowd at the parade.

“This is such a homey, arms-around-everybody place, and that’s how we want it to stay. Thank you,” Mrs. Grosko added.

Local representatives of the Regular Republican Club of Lavallette, the Lavallette Voters and Taxpayers, the Lavallette Business Association, the Lavallette Elementary School students and staff, as well as many other organizations marched in the parade on Sunday. For the full story see page 21.
